The Merrion is the grande dame of Dublin, created from four beautifully restored Georgian townhouses on Upper Merrion Street, opposite Government Buildings and moments from the National Gallery and St Stephen's Green. Its listed rooms, private gardens and Ireland's largest private art collection make it the most elegant address in the city.

The dining is a Dublin institution. Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud is Ireland's first two-Michelin-star restaurant, serving contemporary Irish cuisine for forty years under chef Guillaume Lebrun; the Garden Room offers all-day modern Irish food; and the 18th-century Cellar Bar, the Art Tea in the Drawing Rooms and a summer Garden Terrace complete the offering.

For a grand, gastronomic Dublin stay, The Merrion is a benchmark.
